If I remember correctly, the X11 started with a 2.8L V6. I can’t recall if it stuck around long enough to get the 3.1L V6 that eventually replaced it.

The Skyhawk T-Type that I bought instead of the X11 or Z24 had the Brazilian 1.8T OHC. I specify Brazilian because there were two 1.8T engines in GM portfolio at that time. I think the other was an Opel design sourced out of either Germany or UK. The Brazilian version was the better, more modern (at the time) engine.
